A Late Birthday

David's birthday was Thurs.
My happy birthday wishes (on here anyway) are a few days late, but I wish them nevertheless.

Austin's truck is now in the shop being repaired.
On Thurs however, my car ended up in the shop as well.
I had gone to town, but a pipe coming off the radiator has a hole in it.
That caused the car to overheat, and Leila and I ended up sitting along the road.
It just so happened though that my mom happened to be driving by and saw us.
She stopped, picked us up and brought us home.
I had to call the tow truck to come and get my car.
Now we're short 2 vehicles.
This is proving to be quite inconvenient, and I want all of our vehicles back home where they belong.

We woke up today to the first snow of the season.
Although it snowed for several hours, we only really got a dusting on the ground and none on the roads.
Because of the Christmas season and in honor of the first snow, we took the time tonight to drive through our town's Christmas light display.
Once we started thru the lights, we took Leila out of her carseat.
Being out of her seat must have thrown her for such a loop, she hardly noticed or enjoyed the 1st part of the lights.
Once she realized that it really was okay, she settled down and enjoyed the experience.
Well, she enjoyed it until we put her back in her seat at the end of the display.
Apparently she thought this being out of the seat and on my lap was a pretty good thing and definitely was not ready for it to end.
